I just tried the new Serviio build .5. Bravo on all the new features and changes. I really like being able to decide what shows up in the Presentation options.

I am still having issues with HD mpeg2 files playing back on my Sony KDL-46HX800. They begin to play, but then stop and the TV then displays the message "Video file cannot be played". SD mpeg2 files playback perfectly fine. I originally posted this issue in another thread, but I think it deserves it's own proper thread.

The files in question are recorded from clearQAM cable using SageTV and an Avermedia m780 digital tuner. Here are the stats from one of the files using MediaInfo:

I believe the files are being "streamed" to the TV and not transcoded. What would be the proper way to force these files to be transcoded to see if that makes any difference in playback? The file container is .mpg.

You can change the sony bravia profile <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3" forceVTranscoding="true"> <Matches container="asf" vCodec="mpeg2video" /><Matches container="mpeg" vCodec="mpeg2video" aCodec="ac3"/> </Video>Your video have a very high bitrate (20Mbps), mpeg2TS could be a better container than mpeg2PS

Turns out that tweak may be working, at least trying to. I stopped the Serviio server and restarted it, but the change did not take effect. It turns out I have 2 ServiioService processes running. Once I killed them both and the restarted it, the change took effect. Now it is trying to transcode the file, but maxing out the PC and the image is squished vertically.

Pretty old thread, but here goes. I have a hx800 aswell. After updating to 1.01 I can only get one moviefile played. Before I updatet I had tweaked the profile for sony 201o model, with the red line. I can see that the longets line in the old serviio is different from the same line in the newest profile for sony2010, does that matter?
